Hello, has anyone experienced prodromal labour andhow long before going into active labour? Since Tues night I have had what feels like contractions every night about 10 mins apart which are uncomfortable enough to keep me awake, come the morning they stop. Since yesterday ive had them all night and all today which have been 6 mins apart and really painful which stop me in my tracks and really make me wince at the moment they are present but have calmed a bit. I am due in 3 days butthese are making me feel physically and emotionally drained. Ive read about prodromal labour or as they say "false labour" but nothing feels false about this and the cervix may not even be dilated and woman end up having c section as not matter whwhais donethe cervix doesnt dilate much. I am really starting to worry something is wrong especially after 5 days of this. This is my second labour and never heard of this.
